plaToon 0.9.5

plaToon is a cartoony and super cute and fun looking massive multiplayer war style game although it’s still early in development and there is a lot of issues that need to be worked out before it is fully playable also there is a lack of people playing at the moment which was a shame as it seems like it would be incredibly funny if there was a large number of players in each team.

Some things which should be a lot of fun and admittedly is a great feature which is being able to fly biplanes however getting in to the plane is almost impossible as you have to jump in to the seat before you can press “E” to fly it and not long after getting in to it, it didn’t take us long to crash it as we didn’t realize it flew with inverted controls and then was impossible to get in to again.

During the very first match we played the servers crashed and we were transported to a very strange lobby where it seemed to be very early models of the soldier characters, not sure if these were real other players or AI they did seem to want to shoot our avatar, you then had to scale some steps to get back to the main lobby where not only do players (or AI) shoot at you as you try to do this but there is moving blocks which may push you off of the steps!

plaToon shows a huge amount of promise and the character models are really nicely made hopefully the game will start to find the popularity it deserves and the lobbies will fill up as well on working on reducing server crashes.
